Kay © iStock.com/nullplus Share Post Email Advertise on TGC “It feels so nice to finally stop and catch my breath.” Can you remember the last time you had a moment like that? For some of us, it’s been a while. In our hard-working, highly productive culture, we can sometimes feel like exhausted swimmers swept downstream in a fast-moving river, fighting to keep our heads above water, gasping for air. We get up early and stay up late. We never waste a minute. Our schedule is full, running here, running there, running late, running to catch up, running on empty, until we collapse in utter exhaustion. Underneath the satisfaction of being hard-working, hard-playing people is a weariness that’s desperate for the pace to relent so we can rest and recharge.

Pride or Humility
"Pride is a deep rooted and a
self-preserving sin; and therefore is harder to be killed and rooted up than
other sins. It hinders the discovery of

... to loathe himself and forsake it.
... Even when he recognizes all
of the evidences of pride in others, he will not see it in himself. ..."
"Humility is willingness and
desire that others should not think of us, or speak of us, or use (i.e., treat)
us as greater or wiser or better than we are: that they should give us no more
honor, praise or love than is our due."
(Richard Baxter)
